07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

if i get this upgrade kit (calipers, rotors, pads) for the front: Link: http://a.co/d/hoRH8a1
then do i still need bolts to mount the caliper brackets to the knuckle?

you'd think the spare on a 2006 YXLD would match the the other 17" wheels, but i feel the need to double check.

You can look in the driver door jamb sticker, but you can be pretty sure the spare is a 16.

What year is that kit for? I believe you can reuse your existing mounting bolts.

Those are for the rear

You can either reuse yours or buy new ones. I don’t see them in that package. Edit: I didn’t notice those are rears.

Yes, they are. That's why I asked what year. Good call to actually point it out! Lol.

It would be ****** if he got them then took everything apart only to find out he got the wrong kit.


Plus I'm still looking for an upgraded rear kit. I just want larger rotors lol

omg. you guys are great. didnt notice those were for the rear. thanks for the heads up!
btw: my understanding is my rears are the larger diameter anyways (2006 YXLD). i'll be replaced with 2006 rotors and pads. the fronts are where i want to go with NNBS 13" rotors and pads.... and SS lines hopefully. thanks again all.

Yup. You got it. When you're looking for the front, don't use 2007 or it gets confusing because there were two caliper castings that year. Use 08-13.

Someone could've swapped it out.
